Police use water cannon as crowds gather to protest Istanbul mayor arrest
Police use water cannon against a large crowd gathered near Istanbul city hall, as the Turkish city sees its fifth night of protests against the arrest of its mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu. This is the first time the police have used this method to disperse demonstrators since the movement began. President Erdogan's main opponent was jailed in a graft probe and suspended as mayor earlier today in developments that have sparked Turkey's worst street unrest in more than a decade. IMAGES
